Unstable routine, loneliness, and self-
Hello Doctor, I am a rehabilitation center counselor and have been living alone since 2004 (for the last 22 years). When I am working at rehab centers in Delhi or Patiala for 2-4 months, my routine stays perfectly fine. However, when I return to my hometown for 2-3 months, I experience extreme loneliness. Since I cannot cook, my eating schedule gets completely disrupted, which further ruins my sleep cycle. To cope with this and get some relief, I have started taking various tablets on my own. I want to consult and confirm if this approach is safe, and how I can properly manage this situation. Please guide me

Please you can keep a young relative or close friend, or care giver, help him or her in their advancement and let them give you company and help you with chores. Another option is to join a tiffin center for food, try to eat, sleep and wake up at fixed time, otherwise it can affect your health at this age.
Join some organisation for senior citizens, where you can find new friends and stay occupied in your leisure time.
Please get blood sugar, hemoglobin, thyroid function tests, serum calcium, vit d3, b12,done and medicines can be taken as per results.

Your symptoms seem to be related more to loneliness, disrupted routine, and poor sleep rather than a physical illness.
Self-medicating with multiple tablets is not advisable, as some medicines can worsen sleep, mood, or cause side effects.
Since these symptoms have been affecting your daily life for a long time, I would recommend consulting me for further discussion about our next treatment plan.
Health Tips
Try to maintain fixed meal and sleep timings, regular physical activity, and social interaction even when at home.
